Getting started 1

Installing the dash camera memory card

Before the device can record video from the integrated dash camera, you must install a camera memory card.

The camera requires a microSD® memory card from 4 to 256 GB with a speed rating of Class 10 or higher. You

can use the included memory card, or you can purchase a compatible memory card from an electronics

supplier.

NOTE: a memory card is included so your device is ready to use out of the box. All memory cards have a limited

life and must be replaced periodically. Your device alerts you when the memory card has exceeded its useful life

and needs to be replaced. You can follow the troubleshooting tips to help extend the useful life of the memory

card (My memory card has degraded and needs to be replaced, page 62).

1Insert a memory card into the camera memory card slot .

NOTE: if you install the memory card into the incorrect slot, the camera cannot record video.

2Press it in until it clicks.

Mounting Considerations

• Do not mount the device in a location that obscures the driver's view of the road.

WARNING

It is your responsibility to ensure that the mounting location complies with all applicable laws and ordinances,

and does not block your view of the road during the safe operation of your vehicle.

• Choose a location that allows you to route the power cable safely.

WARNING

When installing the device in a vehicle, install the device and power cable securely so they do not interfere

with the vehicle operating controls. Interference with the vehicle operating controls can result in a collision,

which could result in injury or death.

• Choose a location that allows the device to clearly hear your voice.

You should avoid placing the device near a speaker or air vent, which can produce noise that interferes with

the microphones.

• Choose a location that is within easy reach.

• Choose a location that provides the dash cam with a clear view of the road.

You should verify that the vehicle's windscreen wipers clear the windscreen area in front of the dash cam,

and you should avoid placing the dash cam behind a tinted area of the windscreen.

• Thoroughly clean the windscreen before installing the mount.

Getting started 5

Turning the device on or off

• To turn the device on, press the power button , or connect the device to power.

• To put the device in power saving mode, press the power button while the device is on.

While in power saving mode, the screen is off and the device uses very little power, but it can wake instantly

for use.

TIP: you can charge your device faster by putting it in power saving mode while charging the battery.

• To turn off the device completely, hold the power button until a prompt appears on the screen and select Off.

The prompt appears after five seconds. If you release the power button before the prompt appears, the

device enters power saving mode.

Acquiring GPS signals

When you turn on your navigation device, the GPS receiver must collect satellite data and establish the current

location. The time required to acquire satellite signals varies based on several factors, including how far you are

from the location where you last used your navigation device, whether you have a clear view of the sky, and how

long it has been since you last used your navigation device. The first time you turn on your navigation device, it

may take several minutes to acquire satellite signals.

1Turn on the device.

2Wait while the device locates satellites.

Dash Cam Recording

NOTICE

Some jurisdictions may prohibit or regulate recording audio and video or taking photographs. Jurisdictions may

require that all parties have knowledge of the recording and provide consent before you record audio and video

or take photographs. It is your responsibility to know and comply with all laws, regulations and any other

restrictions in your jurisdiction.

The dash cam records video to the camera memory card (Installing the dash camera memory card, page 2). By

default, the device immediately starts recording video when it turns on, and it continues recording until it is

turned off. If the memory card is full, the device automatically deletes the oldest unsaved video to create space

for new video.

more than three minutes old and deletes all unsaved video each time it is powered off. You can enable or

disable this feature in the camera settings (Dash Cam Settings, page 54).

You can save a video recording to prevent it from being overwritten or deleted.

Saving a Dash Cam Recording

You can save a portion of the recorded video to prevent it from being overwritten by new video. By default, the

device uses a sensor to detect possible accidental collisions and saves video footage before, during and after

the detected event. You can also manually save video at any time.

1While the dash cam is recording, select Dash Cam > .

The device saves the video footage before, during and after you select .

2Select again to extend the saved recording time (optional).

A message indicates the video is saving.

The memory card has limited storage. After you save a video recording, you should transfer the recording to

your computer or other external storage location for permanent storage (Videos on Your Computer, page 11).

Stopping or starting dash camera recording

1Select Dash Cam.

2Select an option:

• To stop recording, select .

TIP: by default, recording starts automatically the next time you turn on the device. You can disable this

option in the camera settings (Dash Cam Settings, page 54).

• To start recording, select .

Turning audio recording on or off

NOTICE

Some jurisdictions may prohibit recording audio in the vehicle or may require that all passengers have

knowledge of the recording and provide consent before you record audio in the vehicle. It is your responsibility

to know and follow all laws and restrictions for your jurisdiction.

The device can record audio using the integrated microphone whilst recording video. You can turn audio

recording on or off at any time.
